Deviation
06:21
|
|||
eyes full of slime, mouth spits out the insults
you see filth anywhere but in yourself
blind to everything which dies around you
can’t see a mistake even if it crushed you
all that was familiar is distorted
all the meanings are reversed
when I turn away with disgust
you shout the cry of delight
though despair rips your hearts out
you pretend you haven’t got them
deaf to the whining of soul
there’s only ash left in you
I don’t want anything to do with you
I know nothing will change
human will remain the same as he ever was
so let you stay in this mess
I don’t fucking care about you
damn you

The Weakness Deepens
04:31
|
|||
too weak to climb high
too coward to resist
paralyzed by fear
waiting for someone who doesn't exist
unexpected journey
preparations weren't done
so mismatched beyond the furious hive
all I expect is I will fall down
take me away from the faces so grey
like burned compassion
ease the scorching pain so devouring
deaden my biterness
clean my deep strains made of distress
my mental defraction
drained is my strength
and sleep doesn't give a rest

Entering the Inner Shade
07:08
|
|||
I am the creator of myself
my own doom and failure
dreadful shadow melted in the mist
everything sublime collapses by my will
consciousness falters in the fading light
falling deeper into sickness
losing foundations of sanity
I descended into the abyss I have made
out of sight
hidden in vain
wish crumbled opened my scars
pulled me down
in fear of silence among moon rising
I imprisoned myself into shackles of awe
I entered the way I would never chose
transformed

Voice from Within
06:29
|
|||
I see it in my eyes
I see it in me
is this me who kills the light
or is it shadow in me
I’m not able to
everyday I’m trying to oppose
I am my own worst enemy
darkness in my soul
darkness in my mind
|

5. |

dusk falls
shapes disappear
anxiety is growing
I feel the darkness irresistible is coming for me
it will change everything
the terrible hand demands me
my own fault sealed this fate
day by day I lose myself in the deep of no light
I am alone against all the darkness in me
I am stifled
weaker than ever before
I still stand up to the total decay
I keep to myself
and I'm the one
who hates
who blames
who runs away
what will be
when the last leaf drops
when the worst
turns out to be true
I can't see the way
even though I'm staring
when everything seems to die
my eyes remain empty
the plague is spreading - over me
the sky is darkening - inside me
I am stifled

Vomiting the Void
05:58
|
|||
in the hours of void
when the clock freezes
the great black phantom hovers by my side
and reminds me of all that came to nothing
elusive whisper, silent threat
„I'm your solitude, blessing and your curse”
elusive whisper, freezing breath
„I'm your friend and foe, faithful for your pain”
drifting the black sky
avoid your reflection
you can recognize your worst enemy in it
drifting the black sky
don't look at the stars
unless you want them to blind you
in the hour of abandonment
when light can't reach me
I stray among paths ever the same
like a ghost listless to it’s fate
vomiting the void
on myself

7. |
||||
I found the liar within
crawling aside
I found the traitor within
who is lurking
pushing me into keeping quiet
searching for the cleansing from disgrace
all the memories will cease to exist
the promise of oblivion
seems to be the righteous one
even if I am seizing the rest of light
I know that I am crumbling down
I yearn for a liberation
every moment of doubt
lights the flame of self-condemnation
searing me for years
burning me out deeper and deeper
to the ashes of the harrowed soul
I snuffed out all the candles
which light led me astray
I am leaving now this cursed place
and I'm abandoning my shelter
burned out to the ashes
|

8. |
||||
too many questions found no answers
I no longer trust my judgements
in this maze of delusion
there are only false prophets left
no ascension bring the peace
all the efforts seem to be in vain
we are unfulfillable
burdened by this incurable curse
the lone silhouettes
covering the faces
keeping path they have taken
despite the scornful eyes
purposeless, but still forging ahead
we are like the pilgrims to nothingness
sentenced to doubt
no one can dispell
you see no difference between the poison and cure
until it completely destroys you
as the years will go by
you will realize you understood nothing
if it must be that way
then all we got left is to keep going
this wander of the cursed ones
